Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

Advanced Synthetic Biodegradeable Extreme Pressure Grease. A fully synthetic biodegradeable grease for use in applications where environmental acceptability is required. This grease is based upon a lithium hydroxystearate soap thickener and is fortified with extreme pressure, antioxidant, anti-wear and anti-rust additives.

Applications

• Plain and rolling element bearings and general industrial lubrication.
• Operation over the temperature range -35 0 C to 100 0 C for bearings operating at 75% of the maximum rated speed (can withstand up to 120 0 C intermittently).

Performance & benefits

• Good oxidation and mechanical stabilityResists the formation of deposits caused by oxidation at high operating temperatures and maintains consistency, reducing leakage.
• Good corrosion resistance characteristicsEffective protection in hostile environments.
• Lower Environmental ImpactRecommended for use in environmentally sensitive areas: An ‘environmentally acceptable lubricant’ as defined by the USA EPA 2013 Vessel General Permit and offers reduced impact of leak or accidental spillage into the environment when used in marine environments compared to conventional mineral oils. Readily biodegradable - biodegraded by over 60% after 28 days in the OECD 301 B carbon dioxide evolution test. Low Ecotoxicity - Classified as ‘not harmful’ to bacteria, algae, freshwater and marine invertebrates, and fish when tested as water- accommodated fractions (WAFs) according to OECD and EPA test guidelines.
• Meets requirement of United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) 2013 vessel general permit (VGP)

Standards & approvals

• SS 15 54 70

  SS 15 54 70 — environmental requirements for greases (Sweden)

  The counterpart of the Swedish SS 15 54 34 standard applied to greases: high biodegradability, low aquatic toxicity, and no environmentally hazardous classification.

• USDA BioPreferred

  USDA BioPreferred program

  US federal program promoting the use of biobased products (including lubricants) through preferred federal purchasing and a certification label.Source

• ISO 12924 L-XCBIB 2

  Grease classification L-XCBIB 2 — ISO 12924

  An ISO 12924 grease code: "X" marks a grease, the following letters give the lowest/highest service temperature, water resistance and EP performance, and the trailing figure is the NLGI consistency grade.

• DIN 51502 KPE2G-30

  Lubricant designation KPE2G-30 — DIN 51502

  The DIN 51502 short code "KPE2G-30": thickener/additive letters, NLGI consistency, upper temperature-range letter and lower service-temperature limit for a rolling/plain-bearing grease.

• EU Ecolabel

  The European Union's voluntary ecolabel, certifying that a product, including lubricants, meets reduced-environmental-impact criteria across its life cycle.

• OECD 301B

  OECD 301B biodegradability above 60 %

  A test result rather than a norm: OECD 301B measures the carbon dioxide evolved over 28 days. Above 60 % counts as "readily biodegradable", the threshold the environmental labels require.
